GLASGOW, SCOTLAND – February 24, 2021 - Solus Ltd. is pleased to announce the addition of 4 new languages, bringing the total to 24, with 12 local country variations. The Solus Library App has seen tremendous growth both internationally, as well as in the North American market through itself and reseller partners.
The Library App supports a smart download approach from the Apple and Google app stores, whereby the Library App language will corelate to the language installed on the phone. For example, if the patron's phone has the Spanish language enabled, the Library App will download with the Spanish language version. The patron can then change the language setting under their My Account to practice English or another language option.
As well as the App level professional translations, libraries can also upload any content via the SOLUS Content Management System which they can choose to have machine translated, making it easy for them to provide local content in multi-lingual versions.
John Richardson, Director of Solus North America states, "The Library App's tremendous multi-lingual support benefits and enhances the Library's presence in multicultural environments where many people do not speak English as their first language. Speaking a patron's language cannot help but endear that person to the Library's efforts in communicating in their language!"

- Bengali
- Chinese (Simplified-China, Simplified-Singapore, Hong-Kong, Macao, Taiwan)
